Yes! A million times yes.
Google wields too much control and is forcing the evolution of technology to further their grasp. They reach into every sector of technology, and every play they make deepens their moat.
Look at how fast they spin up new products to see if they can claw into a new space. They move mountains if they sense they can grapple something new, and if it doesn't work out they tear it down without considering the users. It isn't about the individual - they want total control.
Google is 90's Microsoft's Embrace/Extend/Extinguish executed to perfection.
(See my thread from yesterday [1] where I argue these points as they pertain to the app store.)
I'm going to talk with my local lawmakers. I don't know what leverage I have, but I'll be damned if I sit on the sidelines.
